Trump accuses media of stoking ‘great anger’ in US (New York Post)
Despite calls for him to cool his overheated rhetoric after the deadly synagogue shooting and pipe bomb mailings, President Trump on Monday continued his assault on the “Fake News Media” by continuing to accuse them of stoking rage.
“There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly,” he wrote on his Twitter account. [Read More]

The Left’s Response To The Mass Shooting Of Jews Is An Act Of Bad Faith (The Federalist)
It was ironic to see many of the same liberals, who recently fought to prop up the world’s most powerful Jew-hating terror state, lecturing us on the importance of combating anti-Semitism. But there they were yesterday.
The same Voxers who had long rationalized, romanticized, and excused the Jew-killing terror organization of the Middle East were now blaming the existence of the evil, anti-Semitic Pittsburgh shooter on Republicans. The same Pod bros whose echo chamber deployed anti-Semitic dual-loyalty tropes to smear critics of the Iran deal were now incredibly concerned about the Jewish community. [Read More]
Hillary Clinton to run in 2020?: ‘No … Well I’d like to be president’ (Washington Examiner)
Hillary Clinton gave a possible hint about maybe embarking on another presidential run.
Asked by Recode’s Kara Swisher about a 2020 redo on Friday, Clinton initially said no, but what came next was increasingly ambiguous.

“No. No,” Clinton said.
“That was a pause…” Swisher observed. [Read More]
A Maryland woman has been charged in a scheme to make and sell fake bank statements and utility bills so out-of-state residents could get driver’s licenses, police said Monday.

Authorities said she ran a scheme, starting in August 2017, in which she sold fake documents to four people who then used the documents to get Maryland licenses. She charged between $1,700 and $2,550 for the fraudulent documents, they said. [Read More]
